Dancing With Our Stars Is Back! Save the date for August 26th!
Following a record-breaking year, Dancing With Our Stars is back again for its seventh year of show-stopping performances, massive fundraising and friendly community competition. Since 2009, élite Magazine and The Magazine of Santa Clarita’s signature event has raised more than $1.3 million for our local non-profits. With 22 dancers on stage, last year will be tough to top, but we’re more excited than ever for our 7th annual event on Friday, August 26 at the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center.
And the community is just as excited! Fundraising has already begun, and the requests are pouring in to secure one of our coveted dancing spots. We have 18 non-profits dancing this year.
“The response from the community has been amazing each and every year,” said Alexander Hafizi, the event organizer. “We’re so excited to see all the participants and non-profits coming together for our seventh year.”
Thank you to our returning sponsors, Whitening Lightning, HomeSmart and The City of Santa Clarita. Sponsorships are still available if you are interested, please contact us.
Celebrity dancers will pair up with dancing professionals to dance at the event. The celebrities will also be working hard to raise money for the non-profit organization they’re representing. Guests will have the opportunity to cast money votes using script, and dancing partners also will be judged by a panel of celebrity judges on the night of the event. All proceeds raised from this not-for-profit event are donated directly to the benefitting organizations, including profit on ticket sales.
Ticket prices are $35/$40/$50 and will be available shortly.
